Find a safety record
Every incident, injury and recall on file, from the national registries that publish them. Search a maker, a model, a town or a reference number — or narrow by what happened. Each record is the registry's own text, reproduced without rewriting, with the reference that locates it at the source. Registries count different things, so a total is a count of FILINGS and never a measure of how dangerous something is. How the record was collected.

At 1:54 PM CDT on October [XXX], 2025 in Aledo, Texas, an Aurora truck traveling at approximately 7 mph on an [XXX] frontage road in autonomy brushed against a temporary construction barrier. This was a development test using testing software, not Aurora's commercial driverless software. During development missions, Aurora tests new roads and conditions outside of its current ODD to prepare for safe driverless operations as Aurora expands its ODD. Two vehicle operators and a backseat rider were inside the vehicle. While traversing a very narrow lane between temporary barriers and a ditch, slowly and with support of remote assist, the Aurora truck brushed a roadside barrier, resulting in minor scraping on the side of the truck. The Aurora vehicle operator then disengaged autonomy and manually drove the truck to Aurora's Fort Worth terminal. No injuries were reported. No damage to the barrier was observed.

At approximately 12:03 PM CST on September [XXX], 2025, an Aurora truck with an Aurora ride observer seated inside was traveling southbound on [XXX] in autonomy in Spring, Texas when it struck a mattress box spring in its travel lane. As a preceding light-duty vehicle suddenly slowed and abruptly nudged in its lane, a mattress box spring was revealed on the roadway. As designed, the Aurora truck slowed but due to surrounding actors and travel speed, it elected to drive over the object. After the impact, the Aurora truck pulled to the shoulder in autonomy. Once stopped, the Aurora ride observer inspected the Aurora truck for damage and reported to internal dispatch that the air dam on the front bumper of the vehicle was damaged. The Aurora ride observer then drove the truck in manual to Aurora's terminal in Houston. No injuries were reported.

At approximately 10:55 AM CST on August [XXX], 2025, an Aurora truck was traveling westbound on [XXX] in autonomy during a development mission with an Aurora vehicle operator near Stephenville, Texas. The Aurora truck was in the right lane and approaching an unmarked right-lane closure with no advance warning signs. The Aurora vehicle operator decided to disengage autonomy and attempted to manually merge the Aurora truck into the left lane. During the vehicle operators manual lane change, a passing tractor trailer sped up on the left and made contact with the Aurora truck. The Aurora vehicle operator attempted to alert the other tractor trailer of the impact to the Aurora truck by honking the horn and flashing lights. However, the passing tractor trailer proceeded without stopping, and after being unable to gain the other drivers attention, the Aurora vehicle operator pulled over to the shoulder of the highway to assess damage to the Aurora truck. The Aurora vehicle operator reported damage to the trucks left side mirror and sensor equipment to Auroras dispatch before returning to Auroras terminal in Aledo, Texas. No injuries were reported.
